Cottonmouth Liturgy

Cottonmouth Liturgy

A multi-media harp and spoken-word tribute to the incalculable, the in-deducible, the suspicious static noise that accompanies the voice of truth, and the attempted aberrations in the domain of emergence. “This performance grew out of our attempts to keep the dividing pressures of statistical reasoning at bay. We will explore enmeshment through the sonic and visual registers.” – Alexander Moll & Jackie Wang
